Affinity: Chaos



Selkirk Region. 

The border of the Western Continent and the Middle Continent. This was one of the regions before the Middle Continent, it stands as a good trade spot between both Continents. 

Grey and Klaus arrived at the time they needed to, before the meeting took place. They arrived a day before the meeting and the duo started to wander around the city, in hopes of finding something good. However, even after spending hours in the streets of the City, they were unable to find anything good. They did get to eat in one of the good Inns in the City and even drank some of the best wine they've ever tasted. 

….

The next day. 

The meeting was held in a secret room that night. Over fifteen figures in the Elemental Sovereign realm were seated as they started the meeting. 

"What do we do about them? They are already a tumor, with the seal weakening, they will eventually come as a threat to us." 

"They are a threat, but don't forget about the Dawson Family, they are holding onto a very important secret realm. With it, we will be able to grow more experts needed to fight against the Gnomes." 

"The Dawson Family found the secret realm first, according to the rules, they have every right to keep it to themselves." 

"What are you saying? We all need to grow stronger if we need to fight against the Gnomes." 

"Yes, Lucas is always trying to flaunt his strength before us. Who knows if that's where he grew that powerful?" 

….

Different discussions broke out, but it all focused on one topic, the secret realm the Dawson Family found. There has been a few people who had attempted to snatch it but to no avail, now they were searching for a way to get the top Factions in the Middle Continent to come and intervene and force the Dawson Family to relinquish their hold of it. 

They were still talking about measures to force the Dawson Family into letting others enter the secret realm when two individuals swaggered into the room. It was, of course, Grey and Klaus. 

Grey was walking in a more serene way, Klaus on the other hand, was walking as if the world belonged to him. It couldn't be helped, this was a moment he would cherish for a long time. 

One of the men who was adamant on the Dawson Family letting others into the secret realm turned to the duo. 

"What are you two kids doing here?" 

Before Grey could speak, Klaus spoke up, "We're the representative of the Dawson Family." 

Klaus looked around and noticed there was no seat for them. 

"Grey, there's no seat for us, would you be kind enough to make one for us." He asked with a smile. 

He walked to one of the men, particularly the one who asked who they were and said with a blissful smile, "Can you move your seat a little, we need a spot here." 

The man was about to attack when Grey brought out a seal. 

When everyone present saw the seal, their expressions changed slightly, it belonged to Lucas and they've all heard of the rumors of Grey being the son of Lucas Dawson. 

While thinking about that, they suddenly thought of another thing, how did Grey and Klaus get into the place without them finding out until they were already close? 

Grey and Klaus naturally wouldn't speak of that. 

The man didn't want to move, and Klaus wanting to make sure he annoyed the people to the extreme, created ice to push the man's seat a little further away, creating space for himself and Grey. He created an ice chair in the shape of a throne, higher than that of the others and sat down comfortably. 

Grey didn't say a word, his facial expression was the same as when he came over and he sat down beside Klaus. 

"Alright, we should continue with the meeting." Klaus said, "What did I hear about the Dawson Family?" 

The men present were left speechless, they couldn't even say a word. 

One of them finally spoke, his tone one of immense anger, "Little boy, do you know the presence of whom you're sitting before?" 

"I'm representing the Dawson Family, I believe I have every right to sit with you people. Unless… you know, you believe you're above the Dawson Family. I'll leave and report to Uncle Lucas and we'll know what steps to take." Klaus was unmoved by his words. 

He was never one who could be easily intimidated, especially when he has such a superpower behind him. With Grey's father, he had zero fears for these people. In fact, he knew these people wouldn't dare to attack them. 

They might be from top Factions, but offending the Dawson Family wasn't something they would want to do so openly. Only a few of them would do that, and the consequences of their actions weren't light. 

The Faction fighting against the Dawson Family for that secret realm had lost a lot of talents due to the war, especially when Grey was sent out. Grey killed some of their top talents in that cultivation stage at that time which naturally weakened their future prospects. 

"Kid, even if you're from the Dawson Family, there are ways you should act outside." One of the men looked at him with cold eyes. 

"And how am I acting?" Klaus asked. 

"The same way a dead man would." Another man replied. 

This man's face was stern and his eyes radiated a little murderous intent. 

"Did we come to the wrong meeting? I don't recall Uncle sending us to meet up with dead people, do you?" Klaus' words infuriated not just the man who asked the question, but everyone present as well. 

Grey couldn't help but look at him, seeing that they were going nowhere, he tapped Klaus on the hand and their seats went down a little, becoming level with the others. Not only that, but it changed its shape and became a normal chair, made of stone. 

"Forgive my friend's behavior, please, if you don't mind, I would very much like for the meeting to continue." His voice was calm and confident, giving the others a feeling of someone who had everything under control. 

Annoying these people was part of the plan, but he also needed to find out the ones that needed to be dealt with.
